Application filed January 11, 1913, Serial 110,741,544. Renewed September 10, 1914. Serial No. 861,134.

To all whom t may concern Be it known that 1, MICHAEL Sounnmnn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Toilet-Racks, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention relates to racks, stands and toilet article supports, and aims in the production of a combination rack wherein elements of simplicity and durability are obviously displayed.

My invention is more especially used as a supporting rack for toilet articles or the like, and not only assures an eilicient support therefor, but also provides a sanitary receptacle for receiving the same.

The sanitary principles of the present device are obvious, inasmuch as the same is constructed almost entirelyof glass, and the parts readily detachable for cleansing.

With these and other. objects in view my invention relates to such details of construction and in the arrangement and combination of parts as will be hereinafter fully described and specifically pointed out in the appended claim.

In describing my invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views and in which;

Figure, l is a front elevation of my invention illustrating a number of toilet articles in place thereon. Fig. 2 is a plan view of a supporting disk. Fig. 3 is a view Show ing certain portions of the rack in side elevation and the other parts in section.

Referring now more particularly to the drawings wherein is shown the preferred embodiment of my invention, the numeral 10 desi ates the support which is constructed pre erably of a'vertieal strand of heavy tubing, but in view of the fact that other materials may be used, it is to be recognized that I am not limited to this. The lower end of the support is branched and bent as shown at 11, and formed into a pair of diverging arms 12, the latter being enlarged at their extremities as shown at 13 and secured in place upon a supportin structure by such means as shown at 14. hile this form of securing means has been illustrated it is apparent that other forms may be emposed disk 18, the latter having a suitable bearing 19 disposed thereabout, as is apparent. A supporting plate 20 has connection with the bearing 19 as is shown, the

latter being comparatively large in relation to the disk 18 and provided with means for supporting tooth brushes and the like, as will be hereinafter mentioned.

By the arrangement set forth above, the plate 20 is. allowed to rotate upon the body portion in any desired manner, thus enabling the operator to move the same out of position when extracting the tooth brushes rom different points thereon. The plate is provided at its periphery with a plurality of spaced apart cut-out portions 21 which are constricted as shown at 20, and have a lip 23 projecting thereinto as shown. When in place the tooth brushes are first disposed within the cut-out portions 20 and the handles thereof afterward move into the constricted portions 22 thereof. The lip 23 projects into the constricted portion, and provides a supporting means which limits the upward and downward movement of the brush, thus securely supporting the same when in place.

Consistent with the above remarks, l have provided a receptacle for coverin the upper ends of the. brushes, thus rendering the device entirely sanitary. This means comprises a circular glass receptacle 24: disposed upon the plate 20 in the manner shown in Fig. 3 so that the upper ends of the brushes when in place will be entirely covered. The cover is entirel removable, thus allowing the cleansing 0 both the plate and the interior of the cover and rendering the device sanitary at all times and under all condi' tions.

The receptacle 24 being annular in crosssection, provides a suitable opening or receptacle wherein may be disposed a glass 25 or other like article. The glass being disposed upon the plate 20, is held in place hv the receptacle and its lateral movement is prevented. This arrangement obviates the supportingof the glass upon an even surface wherein the lateral movement of the same is not prevented. a

From the foregoing it is recognized that the device which I have disclosed is very simple in construction and provides a sanitary supporting device for toilet articles which is easy to manufacture and easy to keep clean.

Such changes as arepermissible by the subjoined claim may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of my invention.

Having thus fully described my invention,
